The Fund’s portfolio is managed by Brentview Investment Management, LLC (“Brentview”), a sub-adviser to the Fund. Brentview follows a bottom-up process to identify U.S.-listed companies positioned to grow their dividend. Brentview selects investments for the Fund’s portfolio by using a combination of qualitative analysis, financial analysis, and valuation and historical analysis to select companies with demonstrated operating consistency, strong fundamentals, and reasonable valuations for best potential total return. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Brentview determines the investable universe of companies for the Fund’s portfolio by conducting a screening process before conducting in depth fundamental analysis. Brentview first identifies companies with a minimum market capitalization of $3 billion or larger, then eliminates non-dividend payers, and focuses on both companies that have recently started paying dividends and those with positive dividend growth.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Brentview conducts research on the Fund’s existing holdings to identify factors that may be contrary to the initial decision to add the security to the portfolio to anticipate potential dividend cuts and/or deteriorating fundamentals.

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had significant exposure to the information technology sector. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Dividend-Paying Securities Risk. Investment in dividend-paying securities could cause the Fund to underperform similar funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends. Securities of companies with a history of paying dividends may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as most other securities, and a sharp rise in interest rates or economic downturn could cause a company to unexpectedly reduce or eliminate its dividend. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus), recessions, rising inflation, trade wars and tariffs, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Such events could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. </div>◦Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. Costs of Buying or Selling Shares.

Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. Market Capitalization Risk. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. </div>◦Mid-Capitalization Investing Risk. The securities of mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large-capitalization companies, but they may also be subject to slower growth than small-capitalization companies during times of economic expansion. The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Mid-capitalization companies may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs, and earnings. Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Mid-Capitalization Investing Risk.

Mid-capitalization companies may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs, and earnings. Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in the following sectors and, therefore, the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting each of these sectors. ◦Information Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability.

Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Securities Lending Risk. The Fund may engage in securities lending. There are certain risks associated with securities lending, including the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities on a timely basis or even the loss of rights in the collateral deposited by the borrower, if the borrower should fail financially. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. As a result, the Fund may lose money. Performance The following performance information indicates some of the risks of investing in the Fund.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the fiscal period October 22, 2025 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 32% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.32 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) that are U.S. dollar denominated. CLOs are investment products with a “long-only” investment strategy (i.e., a strategy that does not include short positions) that issue multiple tranches of securities. CLOs are collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, subordinate corporate loans, and bank loans. In addition, some CLOs may hold small positions in corporate bonds. CLOs are generally structured to be exposed to the senior secured loans in a corporate capital structure, which means that the loans comprising the CLO pool have payment priority over unsecured debt and common equity in a default situation. These loans are often issued as “covenant lite” loans, which have few or no financial maintenance covenants. “Financial maintenance covenants” are covenants that require a borrower to maintain certain financial metrics during the life of the loan, such as maintaining certain levels of cash flow or limiting leverage. In the absence of such covenants, the CLO manager may be unable to declare an event of default if financial performance deteriorates, renegotiate the terms of the loan based upon the elevated risk levels, or take other actions to help mitigate losses.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) will be invested in CLOs. The CLOs in which the Fund may invest may be of any maturity or duration that are rated, at the time of purchase, BBB-/Baa3 or higher (or equivalent by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”)) or, if unrated, securities deemed by the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, Crescent Capital Group LP (“Crescent” or the “Sub-Adviser”) to be of comparable quality. The Fund allocates its investments across CLO tranches that are investment grade, including both higher-rated senior tranches (i.e., AAA, AA, A ratings) and lower-rated mezzanine tranches that are of investment grade quality (i.e., BBB+, BBB, BBB- ratings). At any given time, the Fund may increase its exposure to and invest primarily in higher-rated senior tranches or lower-rated mezzanine tranches based on the Sub-Adviser’s assessment of current market conditions and potential investment opportunities. At the time of purchase, the Fund is limited to investing in only investment grade quality CLOs; however, in the event a CLO investment is downgraded to below investment grade (i.e., below a BBB-/Baa3 rating) after purchase, the Fund may continue to hold such security, provided that the aggregate value of all CLO investments rated below investment grade does not exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets. The Sub-Adviser will monitor the credit quality of the CLOs held by the Fund and will consider various factors, including current market conditions and the potential impact on the Fund’s performance, when determining whether to retain or sell a CLO investment that is downgraded to below investment grade after the time of purchase. In addition, the Fund will generally invest in floating-rate CLOs.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Sub-Adviser applies a top-down approach to selecting investments to purchase and sell. This means the Sub-Adviser evaluates macroeconomic indicators, including prevailing credit cycles and default rate trends, to inform the overall investment strategy. The Sub-Adviser utilizes a liquidity and relative value framework to evaluate for potential investment opportunities in primary (i.e., the initial offering for a security) markets for CLOs. The Sub-Adviser then evaluates CLOs in secondary markets (i.e., markets where the securities are traded following the initial offering), focusing on vintage, yield, credit rating, and liquidity relative to the Fund’s current investments, and with the goal of providing higher yields with lower defaults than similarly rated fixed income alternatives. The Sub-Adviser monitors the Fund’s investment portfolio on a daily basis and attempts to proactively position investments for changing market conditions, and the Fund may sell or reduce a position when the Sub-Adviser perceives a more attractive investment becomes available or the value of an investment becomes unattractive, taking into consideration current market conditions. The Fund may also sell an investment based on the Sub-Adviser’s re-evaluation of an investment’s credit profile. Although the Sub-Adviser uses due care in analyzing and monitoring the Fund’s investment portfolio, there can be no assurance that such analysis and monitoring will reveal factors that may impair the value of a CLO investment.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in cash, cash equivalents, or other short-term instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities, money market instruments or money market funds, while deploying or raising new capital, for liquidity management purposes, managing redemptions, or for defensive purposes, including navigating unusual market conditions. The Fund may also invest in ETFs to help manage cash flows, maintain desired market exposure, and enhance overall portfolio liquidity.</div> Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) will be invested in CLOs. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Sub-Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. The Sub-Adviser relies on quantitative and qualitative data that may prove to be incorrect or incomplete. Bank Loans Risk. The CLOs in which the Fund invests are typically collateralized by bank loans. Bank loans are typically originated and structured by banks and institutions on behalf of corporate borrowers. Bank loans are typically distributed by the arranging banks and private client lenders to investors primarily consisting of: CLOs; senior secured loan and high yield bond mutual funds; closed-end funds, hedge funds, banks, insurance companies and finance companies. Investments in bank loans may expose the Fund to different risks, including liquidity risk, price volatility, ability to restructure loans, credit risks and less protective loan documentation. CLO Leverage Risk. CLOs are typically leveraged, and such leverage will magnify the loss on CLO investments, which may in turn magnify the loss experienced by the Fund. The cumulative effect of leverage with respect to any investments <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify">in a market that moves adversely to such investments could result in a substantial loss that would be greater than if the Fund’s investments were not leveraged.</div> CLO Manager Risk. The Fund intends to invest in CLO securities issued by CLOs that are managed by third-party collateral managers. The Fund is dependent on the skill and expertise of such managers. CLO managers are responsible for selecting, managing, and replacing the underlying bank loans within a CLO. There can be no guarantee that any collateral manager will continue to manage such CLO through the life of the investment. Collateral managers are subject to removal or replacement by other holders of CLO securities or may voluntarily resign or may be acquired by another firm. CLO Risk. The risks of investing in CLO securities include both the credit risk associated with the underlying loans combined with the risks associated with the CLO structure governing the priority of payments (and any legal and counterparty risk associated with carrying out the priority of payments). At certain times, this Fund may increase its exposure to and invest primarily in BBB+, BBB, and BBB- rated tranches (or equivalent ratings by a NRSRO); however, these ratings do not constitute a guarantee of credit quality and it’s possible that under stressed market environments these tranches could experience substantial losses due to defaults, write-downs of the equity or other subordinated tranches, increased sensitivity to defaults due to underlying collateral default and impairment of subordinated tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and general market aversion to CLO securities as an asset class. The most common risks associated with investing in CLOs are interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, prepayment risk (i.e., the risk that in a declining interest rate period CLO tranches could be refinanced or paid off prior to their maturities and the Fund would then have to reinvest the proceeds at a lower rate), and the risk of defaults of the underlying assets.<div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Covenant Lite Loans Risk. The Fund may obtain exposure to loans that are “covenant lite.” Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Mezzanine CLO Risk. At certain times, the Fund may invest primarily in BBB+, BBB, BBB- rated tranches of CLO securities that are subordinate to higher-rated tranches (e.g., tranches rated AAA+ through A-) in terms of payment priority. Subordinated (i.e., mezzanine) CLO tranches are subject to higher credit risk and liquidity risk relative to more senior CLO tranches. To the extent a CLO or its underlying loans experience default or are having difficulty making principal and/or interest payments, subordinated CLO tranches will be more likely to experience adverse impacts, and such impacts will be more severe, relative to more senior or higher-rated CLO securities, which in turn will adversely affect the performance of the Fund. In a CLO structure, senior tranches have payment priority over mezzanine tranches.</div> Covenant Lite Loans Risk.

The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years. Debt Securities Risk. The Fund’s investment in debt securities may subject it to the following risks:<div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Call Risk. CLO securities are issued with a non-call period. After the end of the non-call period, the majority investor in the equity tranche can call (i.e. redeem or refinance) the securities issued by the CLO partially or in full. The Fund may not be able to accurately predict when or which of its CLO investments may be called, resulting in the Fund having to reinvest the proceeds in unfavorable market conditions (i.e. at lower spreads), which could cause a decline in the Fund’s income.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Credit Risk. Debt issuers and other counterparties may not honor their obligations. For CLOs, the primary source of credit risk is the ability of the underlying portfolio of loans to generate sufficient cash flow to pay investors on a full and timely basis when principal and/or interest payments are due. Default in payment on the underlying loans will result in less cash flow from the underlying portfolio and, in turn, less funds available to pay investors in the CLO.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Extension Risk. When interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these securities to fall. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of securities, making them more sensitive to future changes in interest rates. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Floating Rate Obligations Risk. Securities with floating or variable interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with fixed interest rates, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. A decline in interest rates may result in a reduction of income received from floating rate securities held by the Fund and may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s shares. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Interest Rate Risk. As interest rates decrease, issuers of the underlying loan obligations may refinance any floating rate loans, which will result in a reduction in the principal value of the CLO’s portfolio and require the CLO to reinvest cash at an inopportune time. Conversely, as interest rates rise, borrowers with floating rate loans may experience difficulty in making payments, resulting in delinquencies and defaults, which may result in a reduction in cash flow to the CLO and the CLO investors, including the Fund. An increase in interest rates may cause the value of fixed-income securities held by the Fund to decline. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to inflationary trends and the effect of government fiscal and monetary policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell or buy a security or close out an investment contract at a favorable price or time. Consequently, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the Fund’s performance. Infrequent trading of securities also may lead to an increase in their price volatility. CLOs, and their underlying loan obligations, are typically not registered for sale to the public and therefore are subject to certain restrictions on transfer and sale, potentially making them less liquid than other types of securities. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Loan Prepayment Risk. This is the risk that a borrower will prepay some or the entire principal owed to the Fund. If that happens, the Fund may have to replace the security by investing the proceeds in a security with a lower yield. This could reduce the share price and income distributions of the Fund.</div> Call Risk. CLO securities are issued with a non-call period. After the end of the non-call period, the majority investor in the equity tranche can call (i.e. redeem or refinance) the securities issued by the CLO partially or in full.

If that happens, the Fund may have to replace the security by investing the proceeds in a security with a lower yield. This could reduce the share price and income distributions of the Fund. ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Cash Redemption Risk. When the Fund’s investment strategy requires it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds, it may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind (i.e., distribute securities as payment of redemption proceeds). As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Early Close/Trading Halt. An exchange or market may close early or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. The ability to trade certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may disrupt the Fund’s creation and redemption process, potentially affect the price at which the Fund’s shares trade in the secondary market, and/or result in the Fund being unable to trade certain securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments, and/or may incur substantial trading losses.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Listing Standards Risk. The Fund is required to comply with listing requirements adopted by the Exchange. Non-compliance with such requirements may result in the Fund’s shares being delisted by the Exchange. Any resulting </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify">liquidation of the Fund could cause the Fund to incur elevated transaction costs and could result in negative tax consequences for its shareholders.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Trading. Although shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca (the “Exchange”), there can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained or that shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the market for shares of the Fund may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings. This adverse effect on liquidity for the Fund’s shares, in turn, can lead to differences between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares, which may result in a widening of the bid and ask spread. In addition, trading in Fund shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares of the Fund inadvisable.</div> Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace.

In addition, trading in Fund shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares of the Fund inadvisable. Extended Settlement Risk. CLOs purchased in the primary market (rather than from the secondary market) typically experience extended or delayed settlement periods, often longer than seven days. During the settlement window, between purchasing and settlement, these securities may be less liquid than CLOs available on the secondary market. As a result, the Fund’s ability to acquire or dispose of CLOs at a price and time the Fund deems advantageous may be impaired. In such circumstances the Fund bears a risk of loss if the value of the CLO declines before the settlement date or if the Fund is required to sell the CLO prior to settlement. There is also the risk that the security will not be issued or that the counterparty will not meet its obligation, resulting in a loss of the investment opportunity. Income Risk. The Fund’s income may decline if interest rates fall. This decline in income would occur because the CLO debt instruments held by the Fund generally all have floating or variable interest rates. Market Events Risk. One or more markets in which the Fund invests may go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. This may be due to numerous factors, including interest rates, the outlook for corporate profits, the health of the national and world economies, national and world social and political events, and the fluctuation of other stock markets around the world. New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision. Other Investment Companies Risk. The risks of investing in other ETFs typically reflect the risks associated with the investment strategies of the other ETFs and the types of instruments in which the other ETFs invest. By investing in another ETF, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that ETF and bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other ETF. The Fund may be subject to statutory limits with respect to the amount it can invest in other ETFs, which may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Investments in ETFs are also subject to the “ETF Risks” described above. Primary Market Issued Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in primary market issued securities or “primaries.” Primaries may not be consistently available to the Fund for investing, particularly as the Fund’s asset base grows. Primaries may be volatile in price due to the absence of a prior trading market, limited quantities available, and an extended settlement period. During periods of higher price volatility, the Fund’s ability to acquire or dispose of CLOs at a price and time the Fund deems advantageous may be impaired. Primaries may be less liquid and have longer settlement periods than CLOs purchased on the secondary market. Privately Issued Securities Risk. CLO securities are generally privately-issued securities, and are normally purchased pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Privately-issued securities typically may be resold only to qualified institutional buyers, in a privately negotiated transaction, to a limited number of purchasers, or in limited quantities after they have been held for a specified period of time and other conditions are met for an exemption from registration. Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such securities, especially under adverse market or economic conditions or in the event of adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer, the Fund may find markets for these securities are more thinly traded. At times, it also may be more difficult to determine the fair value of such securities for purposes of computing the Fund’s net asset value per share due to the absence of an active trading market. Secondary Market Issued Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in secondary market issued securities. There is no guarantee that a secondary market will exist or be maintained for any given CLO security. The price of a CLO tranche in the secondary market can fluctuate based on supply and demand, credit quality, spreads, and market conditions and may trade above or below the price offered by the issuer in the primary market, which is typically based on a spread over a benchmark rate. In addition, CLOs purchased in the secondary market are subject to risks associated with the quality of the seller of the CLO tranche in addition to the quality of the CLO manager that issued the CLO tranche. Valuation Risk. The CLO securities in which the Fund invests may be priced differently than the value realized upon such security’s sale. In times of market instability, valuation may be more unreliable. The tranches of certain CLOs may subject them to price volatility and enhanced liquidity and valuation risk in times of market stress.

For example, the price of a security with a three-year duration would be expected to drop by approximately 3% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates. A security’s “option-adjusted duration” is a measure of its sensitivity to changes in interest rates, while factoring in the call features associated with such security. The Index is comprised of securities with an option-adjusted duration of less than five years. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Preferred stock generally refers to a unit of ownership in a company (like common stock) that has preference over common stock in the payment of dividends and in the event of a company’s liquidation. Unlike common stocks, preferred stocks are generally not entitled to vote on corporate matters. Preferred stock in the Index includes U.S.-listed and non-listed preferred stock and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) representing preferred stock issued by non-U.S. companies. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">“Hybrid” securities are those that have characteristics of both equity and fixed income securities. Hybrid securities typically have preference over an issuer’s common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and in the event of a company’s liquidation and are issued and traded in a similar manner to traditional preferred stock. Holders of hybrid securities may be eligible to receive fixed, periodic payments from the issuer of a hybrid security, although the issuer may have the right to defer such payments or extend the </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">hybrid security’s maturity date. Preferred stocks and hybrid securities generally are issued with a fixed par value and pay dividends based on a percentage of that par value at a fixed or variable rate. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Additionally, preferred stocks and hybrid securities often have a liquidation value that generally equals the original purchase price of such security at the date of issuance. The Index may include many different categories of preferred stock and hybrid securities, such as floating and fixed rate preferreds, fixed-to-floating rate securities, callable preferreds, convertible preferreds, cumulative and non-cumulative preferreds, certain capital securities, preferred real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) or hybrid REITs, trust preferreds or various other preferred stock and hybrid securities. The Index may include preferred and hybrid securities of any quality, including high-yield securities (also known as junk bonds), and securities that are not rated by any rating agencies.

The Index is rebalanced on the last calendar day of each month, based on closing prices as of three business days prior to the last business day of the month. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Fund’s Investment Strategy </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Fund will generally use a “replication” strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning the Fund generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Index in approximately the same proportion as in the Index. However, the Fund may use a “representative sampling” strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole, when the Fund’s sub-adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund (e.g., when replicating the Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, an Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Fund but not to the Index). </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Fund generally may invest in securities or other investments not included in the Index, but which the Fund’s sub-adviser believes will help the Fund track the Index. For example, the Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions). </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in preferred and income securities.</div> To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Call Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable security held by the Fund may “call” or repay the security before its stated maturity, and the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income. Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used. Concentration Risk. The Fund’s investments will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index is so concentrated. In such event, the value of the Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries. Credit Risk. Debt issuers and other counterparties may not honor their obligations or may have their debt downgraded by ratings agencies. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. Depositary Receipt Risk. Depositary Receipts involve risks similar to those associated with investments in foreign securities, such as changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies. Depositary Receipts listed on U.S. exchanges are issued by banks or trust companies, and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares (“Underlying Shares”). When the Fund invests in Depositary Receipts as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the Depositary Receipts may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the Underlying Shares. Dividend-Paying Securities Risk. Investment in dividend-paying securities could cause the Fund to underperform similar funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends. Securities of companies with a history of paying dividends may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as most other securities, and a sharp rise in interest rates or economic downturn could cause a company to unexpectedly reduce or eliminate its dividend. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. Equity Market Risk. Equity securities, including preferred stocks, and hybrid securities that have equity characteristics may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests. Preferred stocks and hybrid securities generally are subject to more risks than debt securities because stockholders’ claims are subordinated to those of holders of debt securities upon the bankruptcy of the issuer. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus), recessions, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Such events could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•ETF Risks. The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares.</div> Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.

Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. Extension Risk. During periods of rising interest rates, certain debt obligations will be paid off substantially more slowly than originally anticipated and the value of those securities may fall sharply, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income and potentially in the value of the Fund’s investments. Foreign Markets Risk. Investments in ADRs that provide exposure to non-U.S. securities involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in U.S. securities. For example, the value of non-U.S. securities may be subject to risk of decline due to foreign currency fluctuations or to political or economic instability. Investments in ADRs also may be subject to withholding or other taxes and may be indirectly subject to additional trading, settlement, custodial, and operational risks. These and other factors can make investments in the Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments. High-Yield Securities Risk. High-yield securities (also known as “junk bonds”) carry a greater degree of risk and are considered speculative by the major credit rating agencies. High-yield securities may be issued by companies that are restructuring, are smaller and less creditworthy, or are more highly indebted than other companies. This means that they may have more difficulty making scheduled payments of principal and interest. Changes in the value of high-yield securities are influenced more by changes in the financial and business position of the issuing company than by changes in interest rates when compared to investment grade securities. High-yield securities have greater volatility because there is less certainty that principal and interest payments will be made as scheduled. The Fund’s investments in high-yield securities expose it to a substantial degree of credit risk. These investments are considered speculative under traditional investment standards. Prices of high-yield securities will rise and fall primarily in response to actual or perceived changes in the issuer's financial health, although changes in market interest rates also will affect prices. High-yield securities may experience reduced liquidity and sudden and substantial decreases in price. Hybrid Securities Risk. Hybrid securities are subject to the risks of equity securities and debt securities. The claims of holders of hybrid securities of an issuer are generally subordinated to those of holders of traditional debt securities in bankruptcy, and thus hybrid securities may be more volatile and subject to greater risk than traditional debt securities, and may in certain circumstances even be more volatile than traditional equity securities. At the same time, hybrid securities may not fully participate in gains of their issuer and thus potential returns of such securities are generally more limited than traditional equity securities, which would participate in such gains. Index Provider Risk. There is no assurance that the Index Provider, or any agents that act on its behalf, will compile the Index accurately, or that the Index will be determined, maintained, constructed, reconstituted, rebalanced, composed, calculated or disseminated accurately. The Adviser relies upon the Index Provider and its agents to compile, determine, maintain, construct, reconstitute, rebalance, compose, calculate (or arrange for an agent to calculate), and disseminate the Index accurately. Any losses or costs associated with errors made by the Index Provider or its agents generally will be borne by the Fund and its shareholders. Interest Rate Risk. Generally, the value of fixed income securities, as well as hybrid securities with fixed income characteristics, will change inversely with changes in interest rates. An increase in interest rates may cause the value of fixed income securities and such hybrid securities to decline. Conversely, as interest rates fall, the market value of fixed income securities and such hybrid securities tend to increase. This risk will be greater for long-term securities than for short-term securities. Issuer-Specific Risk. Issuer-specific events, including changes in the financial condition of an issuer, can have a negative impact on the value of the Fund. Market Capitalization Risk. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. The securities of mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed, and its sub-adviser would not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution or rebalancing of the Index in accordance with the Index methodology. Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may trade all or a significant portion of the securities in its portfolio in connection with each rebalance and reconstitution of its Index. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses. Frequent trading may also cause adverse tax consequences for investors in the Fund due to an increase in short-term capital gains. Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred stocks are subject to the risks of equity securities generally and also risks associated with fixed income securities, such as interest rate risk. A company’s preferred stock generally pays dividends only after the company makes required payments to creditors. As a result, the value of a company’s preferred stock will react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred stock may be less liquid than many other types of securities, such as common stock, and generally has limited or no voting rights. In addition, preferred <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify">stock is subject to the risks that a company may defer or not pay dividends, and, in certain situations, may call or redeem its preferred stock or convert it to common stock. Non-listed preferred stock are not traded on an exchange; rather, such securities are bought and sold via the over-the-counter (OTC) market through a broker-dealer or private transaction. As a result, OTC-traded preferred stocks may be less liquid investments than exchange-traded preferred securities. In addition, non-listed preferred stocks are not subject to the same listing requirements as listed securities and may be less transparent with respect to pricing, trade, volume, and liquidity.</div> Prepayment Risk. This is the risk that a borrower will prepay some or the entire principal owed to the Fund. If that happens, the Fund may have to replace the security by investing the proceeds in a security with a lower yield. This could reduce the share price and income distributions of the Fund. REIT Investment Risk. Investments in REITs involve unique risks. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, and may be more volatile than other securities. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties or mortgages or by defaults by their borrowers or tenants. Furthermore, these entities depend upon specialized management skills, have limited diversification and are, therefore, subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of projects. In addition, the performance of a REIT may be affected by changes in the tax laws or by its failure to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. </div>◦Financial Sector Risk. Companies in the financial sector may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, government regulation, the rate of defaults on corporate, consumer and government debt, the availability and cost of capital, and fallout from the housing and sub-prime mortgage crisis. This sector has experienced significant losses in the recent past, and the impact of more stringent capital requirements and of recent or future regulation on any individual financial company or on the sector as a whole cannot be predicted. In recent years, cyber attacks and technology malfunctions and failures have become increasingly frequent in this sector and have caused significant losses. Financial Sector Risk.

In recent years, cyber attacks and technology malfunctions and failures have become increasingly frequent in this sector and have caused significant losses. Securities Lending Risk. The Fund may engage in securities lending. There are certain risks associated with securities lending, including the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities on a timely basis or even the loss of rights in the collateral deposited by the borrower, if the borrower should fail financially. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. As a result, the Fund may lose money. Tracking Error Risk. As with all index funds, the performance of the Fund and the Index may vary somewhat for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, the Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Index.

The Index was developed in 2017 by S&P Dow Jones Indices, a division of S&P Global (the “Index Provider”). The S&P 500® Index consists of approximately 500 leading U.S.-listed companies representing approximately 80% of the U.S. equity market capitalization, and may include real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Construction of the Index begins with the universe of equity securities that are included in the S&P 500® Index. For each equity security in the S&P 500® Index, the security’s dividend yield and free-cash-flow yield (i.e., a company’s cash flow from operations less capital expenditures divided by its market capitalization) are adjusted to account for outliers. If a security’s dividend yield or free-cash-flow yield is in the top or bottom 2.5% of the S&P 500® Index, the dividend yield or free-cash-flow yield, as applicable, for such security is replaced with the dividend yield or free-cash-flow yield of the security nearest to such top or bottom 2.5% threshold. The universe is then screened to keep only equity securities with a positive indicated annual dividend yield (i.e., yield based on a company’s most recent dividend amount) and free-cash-flow yield. The remaining securities are referred to as the “Selection Pool”. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">For each security in the Selection Pool, the security’s dividend yield and free-cash-flow yield are then scored using a statistical normalization model (i.e., a tool to compare how close each yield is to the average yield for the Selection Pool) to assign a dividend yield score and free-cash-flow yield score from zero to one for each company. The equity securities in the Selection Pool are then ranked by the product of their dividend yield score and free-cash-flow yield score, and the top five scoring securities are selected from each sector (collectively, the “Index Constituents”). The Index uses Standard & Poor’s Global Industry Classification Standards to define companies within one of the following sectors: consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">industrials, information technology, materials, real estate, communication services, and utilities. Fewer than five securities may be selected if there are fewer than five securities in the Selection Pool for a given sector. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Index is reconstituted (i.e., Index Constituents are added or deleted and weights are reset to equal-weight) semi-annually after the close of the last business day in January and July.

If an Index Constituent is removed from the S&P 500® Index, such security will simultaneously be removed from the Index.

For example, the Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Index (such as reconstitutions, additions, and deletions). </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. </div>Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in equity securities that (i) are included in the S&P 500® Index and (ii) have had a positive indicated annual dividend yield within the past year. To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Concentration Risk. The Fund’s investments will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index is so concentrated. In such event, the value of the Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries. Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus), recessions, rising inflation, trade wars and tariffs, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Such events could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. ETF Risks. The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. </div>◦Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility.

There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. High Dividend Investing Risk. Companies with a high yield or payout ratio may reduce their dividend or stop paying dividends entirely while they are included in the Index. Such events could lower the price or yield of such company’s equity securities. Additionally, equity securities with a high yield or payout ratio may underperform other securities in certain market conditions. Index Provider Risk. There is no assurance that the Index Provider, or any agents that act on its behalf, will compile the Index accurately, or that the Index will be determined, maintained, constructed, reconstituted, rebalanced, composed, calculated or disseminated accurately. The Adviser relies upon the Index Provider and its agents to compile, determine, maintain, construct, reconstitute, rebalance, compose, calculate (or arrange for an agent to calculate), and disseminate the Index accurately. Any losses or costs associated with errors made by the Index Provider or its agents generally will be borne by the Fund and its shareholders. Market Capitalization Risk. ◦Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed, and its sub-adviser would not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution or rebalancing of the Index in accordance with the Index methodology. REIT Investment Risk. Investments in REITs involve unique risks. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, and may be more volatile than other securities. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties or mortgages or by defaults by their borrowers or tenants. Furthermore, these entities depend upon specialized management skills, have limited diversification and are, therefore, subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of projects. In addition, the performance of a U.S. REIT may be affected by changes in the tax laws or by its failure to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•Securities Lending Risk. The Fund may engage in securities lending. There are certain risks associated with securities lending, including the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities on a timely basis or even the loss of rights in the collateral deposited by the borrower, if the borrower should fail financially. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. As a result, the Fund may lose money.</div> Tracking Error Risk. As with all index funds, the performance of the Fund and the Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, the Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Index.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.

Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks may be more sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks because their prices are based largely on future expectations with respect to the stock’s issuer, its sector, and/or the overall economy. As a result, growth stocks may underperform value stocks or the overall equity market over a given period of time. Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.

The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 56 56 176 176 307 307 689 689 Portfolio Turnover <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 80% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.80 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="text-align:justify">The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that invests in U.S.-listed equity securities of small-capitalization companies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S.-listed small-capitalization companies. The Fund defines a small-capitalization company as an issuer whose market capitalization at the time of purchase is between $300 million and the market capitalization of the largest company in the Russell 2000 Index (as of January 31, 2026, $38.2 billion). </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">In selecting securities, Sawgrass Asset Management, LLC (“Sawgrass”), a sub-adviser to the Fund, employs a quantitative and qualitative blended investment process, which begins with a sector specific scoring of a universe of 2,000 stocks. Sawgrass utilizes a proprietary modeling system that evaluates 26 factors contained in seven groupings, including business valuation, equity valuation, profitability, earnings quality, price volatility, smoothed momentum and sales, earnings and margin stability.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Fundamental research is then used to distinguish among the highest scoring candidates, in the opinion of Sawgrass, for portfolio inclusion based on a qualitative assessment of company specific attributes, growth prospects, and risk contribution.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Sawgrass generally sells a security for the Fund when, in its opinion, one or more of the following occurs, among other reasons: 1) the quantitative ranking of a security deteriorates, 2) there are significant changes to a security’s fundamental factors, 3) the risk profile of a particular security has changed, 4) a more attractive security is identified, or 5) a security’s market cap swells beyond the Fund’s small-cap range.</div>The Fund’s anticipated portfolio holdings range between 70-90 companies. The Fund’s anticipated portfolio holdings range between 70-90 companies. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had significant exposure to the health care, industrials, and information technology sectors. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus), recessions, rising inflation, trade wars and tariffs, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Such events could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. </div>◦Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices.

In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks may be more sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks because their prices are based largely on future expectations with respect to the stock’s issuer, its sector, and/or the overall economy. As a result, growth stocks may underperform value stocks or the overall equity market over a given period of time. Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">•Market Capitalization Risk. </div>◦Small-Capitalization Investing Risk. The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings. Small-Capitalization Investing Risk.

The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings. Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in the following sectors and, therefore, the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting each of these sectors. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector can be significantly affected by, among other things, worldwide economic growth, supply and demand for specific products and services, rapid technological developments, international political and economic developments, environmental issues, tariffs and trade barriers, and tax and governmental regulatory policies. As the demand for, or prices of, industrials increase, the value of the Fund’s investments generally would be expected to also increase. Conversely, declines in the demand for, or prices of, industrials generally would be expected to contribute to declines in the value of such securities. Such declines may occur quickly and without warning and may negatively impact the value of the Fund and your investment. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Health Care Sector Risk. Companies in the health care sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines, an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services, loss or impairment of intellectual property rights and litigation regarding product or service liability. </div>◦Information Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector can be significantly affected by, among other things, worldwide economic growth, supply and demand for specific products and services, rapid technological developments, international political and economic developments, environmental issues, tariffs and trade barriers, and tax and governmental regulatory policies. As the demand for, or prices of, industrials increase, the value of the Fund’s investments generally would be expected to also increase. Conversely, declines in the demand for, or prices of, industrials generally would be expected to contribute to declines in the value of such securities.

Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. Securities Lending Risk. The Fund may engage in securities lending. There are certain risks associated with securities lending, including the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities on a timely basis or even the loss of rights in the collateral deposited by the borrower, if the borrower should fail financially. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. As a result, the Fund may lose money. Performance The following performance information indicates some of the risks of investing in the Fund.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the fiscal period December 3, 2024 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 74% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.74 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in various U.S. dollar denominated fixed income instruments. The Fund defines fixed income instruments to include investment grade fixed income securities, high yield fixed income securities (also known as “junk bonds”), mortgage-backed securities (both commercial and agency), asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), and any other debt or debt-related securities of any maturities (issued by the United States Government, agencies or instrumentalities or corporate entities). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in income producing securities. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed income instrument that is used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. For example, if a fixed income security has a duration of five years, its price will rise approximately 5% if interest rates drop by 1%, and its price will fall approximately 5% if interest rate rise by 1%. Effective duration is a measure of the Fund’s portfolio duration adjusted for the anticipated effect of interest rate changes on bond and mortgage pre-payment rates. SLC Management (“SLC” or the “Sub-Adviser”) anticipates that the Fund’s estimated average portfolio duration will be three (3) years or less depending on market conditions. The effective duration of the Fund’s portfolio may vary materially from its target, from time to time and under normal market conditions, and there is no assurance that the effective duration of the Fund’s portfolio will not exceed its target.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Fund’s portfolio is managed by SLC. SLC utilizes fundamental and technical research and analysis to identify a starting universe of issuers within the corporate, structured, and securitized credit markets. In general, SLC does not use interest rate anticipation and instead focuses on security-level inefficiencies. SLC seeks to identify fixed income instruments that are, in its judgment, mispriced. SLC monitors the relationships and correlations of various bonds and issuers and conducts review and analysis of the underlying fundamentals of each bond or issuer to attempt to identify if a particular fixed income instrument is either oversold or overbought. SLC also monitors the spread correlations among the various asset classes in which the Fund may invest to screen for sectors SLC believes are trading at a premium or discount and thus may be advantageous for the Fund’s portfolio. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">The Fund invests primarily in investment grade debt securities but may invest in other classes of fixed income securities. Subject to the limitations set out herein, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in any fixed income class, or in cash or cash equivalents, depending upon current fixed income market conditions, as well as other factors observed by SLC. Notwithstanding the above, the Fund may not invest more than 15% of its total assets, as determined at the time of purchase, in high yield fixed income securities (also known as “junk bonds”) which are (a) rated below investment grade by all Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSROs”) which provide a rating for such security (i.e., if any NRSRO maintains an investment grade rating on such security, then the security will not be subject to the 15% limit on high yield fixed income securities), or (b) if such high yield securities are unrated, determined by the Sub-Adviser to be of comparable credit quality to similar high yield fixed income securities.

The Fund’s strategy may result in the active and frequent trading of the Fund’s investments, which may result in significant portfolio turnover. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Sub-Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. Agency Debt Risk. The Fund may invest in unsecured bonds or debentures issued by U.S. government agencies, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Bonds or debentures issued by U.S. government agencies, government-sponsored entities, or government corporations, including, among others, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are generally backed only by the general creditworthiness and reputation of the U.S. government agency, government-sponsored entity, or government corporation issuing the bond or debenture and are not guaranteed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”) or backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. As a result, there is uncertainty as to the current status of many obligations of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other agencies that are placed under conservatorship of the federal government. Ginnie Mae securities are generally backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Cash and Cash Equivalents Risk. Holding cash or cash equivalents rather than securities or other instruments in which the Fund primarily invests, even strategically, may cause the Fund to risk losing opportunities to participate in market appreciation, and may cause the Fund to experience potentially lower returns than the Fund’s benchmark or other funds that remain fully invested. In rising markets, holding cash or cash equivalents will negatively affect the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark. CLO Manager Risk. CLOs are managed by entities which are independent of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. CLO managers are responsible for selecting, managing and replacing the underlying loans within a particular CLO. CLO managers may have limited operating histories and may be subject to conflicts of interests. Such conflicts may include managing the assets of other clients or other investment vehicles, or receiving fees that incentivize maximization of the yield, and therefore the risk, of a CLO. Personnel and resource constraints, regulatory issues or other developments may adversely impact the ability and/or performance of the CLO manager and therefore may adversely impact the performance of the CLO securities in which the Fund invests. CLO Risk. CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of loan obligations. CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease of market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying loans in the tranche of the CLO in which the Fund invests. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Covenant Lite Loans Risk. CLOs may contain underlying loans that may be “covenant lite,” meaning that they have few or no financial maintenance covenants that would require the borrower to meet or exceed certain financial requirements. The absence of such covenants may reduce the ability of the lender to monitor the borrower’s financial performance and, if necessary, declare an event of default which would permit the lender to take action intended to mitigate losses from the borrower’s default on the loan. Therefore, CLOs with holdings of covenant lite loans may have greater difficulty in seeking </div>remedies or taking other actions to preserve the value of loans in situations where a borrower faces declining financial performance. This could result in losses to the CLO and therefore the Fund. Covenant Lite Loans Risk. CLOs may contain underlying loans that may be “covenant lite,” meaning that they have few or no financial maintenance covenants that would require the borrower to meet or exceed certain financial requirements. The absence of such covenants may reduce the ability of the lender to monitor the borrower’s financial performance and, if necessary, declare an event of default which would permit the lender to take action intended to mitigate losses from the borrower’s default on the loan. Therefore, CLOs with holdings of covenant lite loans may have greater difficulty in seeking remedies or taking other actions to preserve the value of loans in situations where a borrower faces declining financial performance. This could result in losses to the CLO and therefore the Fund. CMO Risk. CMOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of mortgages. CMOs are subject to credit risk because underlying loan borrowers may default. CMO default rates tend to be sensitive to overall economic conditions and to localized property vacancy rates and prices. Borrower default rates may be significantly higher than estimated. Certain individual securities may be more sensitive to default rates because payments may be subordinated to other securities of the same issuer. The Sub-Adviser’s assessment, or a rating agency’s assessment, of borrower credit quality, default rates and loss rates may prove to be overly optimistic. Additionally, CMOs are subject to prepayment risk because the underlying loans held by the issuers may be paid off prior to maturity at faster or lower rates than expected. ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Cash Redemption Risk. When the Fund’s investment strategy requires it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds, it may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind (i.e., distribute securities as payment of redemption proceeds). As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. </div>◦Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. Cash Redemption Risk. When the Fund’s investment strategy requires it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds, it may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind (i.e., distribute securities as payment of redemption proceeds). As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used. Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. Fixed Income Securities Risk. The Fund invests in fixed income securities. Fixed income securities, such as bonds and certain asset-backed securities, involve certain risks, which include:<div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Call Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or repay the security prior to its stated maturity, and the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of an investment in that issuer. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Duration Risk. Prices of fixed income securities with longer durations are more sensitive to interest rate changes than those with shorter durations. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Event Risk. Event risk is the risk that corporate issuers may undergo restructurings, such as mergers, leveraged buyouts, takeovers, or similar events financed by increased debt. As a result of the added debt, the credit quality and market value of a company’s bonds and/or other debt securities may decline significantly. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Extension Risk. When interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these securities to fall. </div><div style="padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Income Risk. The Fund’s income may be adversely impacted if interest rates fall in a manner such that variable rate securities held directly or indirectly by the Fund make lower interest payments as a result of the decline in interest rates. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Interest Rate Risk. Generally, the value of fixed income securities will change inversely with changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market value of fixed income securities tends to decrease. Conversely, as interest rates fall, the market value of fixed income securities tends to increase. This risk will be greater for long-term securities than for short-term securities. Changes in government intervention may have adverse effects on investments, volatility, and illiquidity in debt markets. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Liquidity Risk. Securities in which the Fund invests may have limited liquidity during times of adverse market conditions. Consequently, prices of securities may trade at wide bid-ask spreads at times in which the Fund seeks to sell certain assets. The Fund could potentially be unable to sell securities in a timely manner without substantially negatively impacting the price of such securities. As a result, the Fund’s performance could be adversely impacted. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Maturity Risk. The value of fixed income investments is also dependent on their maturity. Generally, the longer the maturity of a fixed income security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Prepayment Risk. When interest rates fall, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Valuation Risk. Valuation risk refers to the potential for assets in which the Fund invests being valued in a manner that differs from what the Fund is able to realize upon a sale of such assets. During times of market uncertainty, the valuation of certain securities may become more difficult and, therefore, the risk that an asset’s valuation will diverge from the price the Fund is ultimately able to realize upon the sale of such asset also increases. </div>◦Variable and Floating Rate Instrument Risk. Although floating or variable rate securities are generally less sensitive to interest rate risk than fixed rate securities, they are subject to credit, income, liquidity and default risk. The absence of an active market for these securities could make it difficult for the Fund to dispose of them if the issuer defaults. Call Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or repay the security prior to its stated maturity, and the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income. Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of an investment in that issuer. Duration Risk. Prices of fixed income securities with longer durations are more sensitive to interest rate changes than those with shorter durations. Event Risk. Event risk is the risk that corporate issuers may undergo restructurings, such as mergers, leveraged buyouts, takeovers, or similar events financed by increased debt. As a result of the added debt, the credit quality and market value of a company’s bonds and/or other debt securities may decline significantly. Extension Risk. When interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these securities to fall. Income Risk. The Fund’s income may be adversely impacted if interest rates fall in a manner such that variable rate securities held directly or indirectly by the Fund make lower interest payments as a result of the decline in interest rates. Interest Rate Risk. Generally, the value of fixed income securities will change inversely with changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the market value of fixed income securities tends to decrease. Conversely, as interest rates fall, the market value of fixed income securities tends to increase. This risk will be greater for long-term securities than for short-term securities. Changes in government intervention may have adverse effects on investments, volatility, and illiquidity in debt markets. Liquidity Risk. Securities in which the Fund invests may have limited liquidity during times of adverse market conditions. Consequently, prices of securities may trade at wide bid-ask spreads at times in which the Fund seeks to sell certain assets. The Fund could potentially be unable to sell securities in a timely manner without substantially negatively impacting the price of such securities. As a result, the Fund’s performance could be adversely impacted. Maturity Risk. The value of fixed income investments is also dependent on their maturity. Generally, the longer the maturity of a fixed income security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Prepayment Risk. When interest rates fall, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. Valuation Risk. Valuation risk refers to the potential for assets in which the Fund invests being valued in a manner that differs from what the Fund is able to realize upon a sale of such assets. During times of market uncertainty, the valuation of certain securities may become more difficult and, therefore, the risk that an asset’s valuation will diverge from the price the Fund is ultimately able to realize upon the sale of such asset also increases. Variable and Floating Rate Instrument Risk. Although floating or variable rate securities are generally less sensitive to interest rate risk than fixed rate securities, they are subject to credit, income, liquidity and default risk. The absence of an active market for these securities could make it difficult for the Fund to dispose of them if the issuer defaults. Government Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. There can be no guarantee that the United States will be able to meet its payment obligations with respect to such securities. Further, not all obligations issued by a U.S. government-related entity are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Additionally, market prices and yields of securities supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or other countries may decline or be negative for short or long periods of time. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may frequently buy and sell portfolio securities and other assets to rebalance the Fund’s exposure to specific securities. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the Fund paying higher levels of transaction costs and generating greater tax liabilities for shareholders. Portfolio turnover risk may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you expect. High-Yield Securities Risk. High-yield securities (also known as “junk bonds”) carry a greater degree of risk and are considered speculative by the major credit rating agencies. High-yield securities may be issued by companies that are restructuring, are smaller and less creditworthy, or are more highly indebted than other companies. This means that they may have more difficulty making scheduled payments of principal and interest. Changes in the value of high-yield securities are influenced more by changes in the financial and business position of the issuing company than by changes in interest rates when compared to investment grade securities. High-yield securities have greater volatility because there is less certainty that principal and interest payments will be made as scheduled. The Fund’s investments in high-yield securities expose it to a substantial degree of credit risk. These investments are considered speculative under traditional investment standards. Prices of high-yield securities will rise and fall primarily in response to actual or perceived changes in the issuer's financial health, although changes in market interest rates also will affect prices. High-yield securities may experience reduced liquidity and sudden and substantial decreases in price. Market Risk. The trading prices of debt securities and other instruments fluctuate in response to a variety of factors. The Fund’s NAV and market price may fluctuate significantly in response to these and other factors. As a result, an investor could lose money over short or long periods of time. Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are more sensitive to interest rate risk than other types of fixed income securities. Modest movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain types of these securities. When interest rates fall, mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be subject to prepayment risk. If a borrower prepays some or the entire principal owed, the Fund may have to replace the security by investing the proceeds in a security with a lower yield. This could reduce the share price and income distributions of the Fund, which invests in mortgage- and asset-backed securities. When interest rates rise, certain types of mortgage- and asset-backed securities are subject to extension risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities can also be subject to the risk of default on the underlying residential or commercial mortgage(s) or other assets. Weakening real estate markets may cause default rates to rise, which would result in a decline in the value of mortgage-backed securities. Privately Issued Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in privately issued securities issued under Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Sales of privately issued securities are subject to numerous restrictions including, but not limited to, that sales of privately issued securities may typically be made only to qualified institutional buyers, in privately negotiated transactions, to a limited number of purchasers, or in limited quantities after being held for a specific period of time. There may be limited numbers of available purchasers at times when the Fund wishes to sell privately issued securities, including during times of adverse market conditions. Privately issued securities may also trade at wider bid-ask spreads or be difficult to value. There can be no assurance that a privately issued security previously believed to be liquid at the time of purchase will continue to maintain a similar liquidity profile during the period in which it is held by the Fund or at the time of sale. Therefore, the Fund is subject to the risk that it may be unable to dispose of such securities without adversely impacting the price received upon sale. Securities Lending Risk. The Fund may engage in securities lending. There are certain risks associated with securities lending, including the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities on a timely basis or even the loss of rights in the collateral deposited by the borrower, if the borrower should fail financially. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. As a result, the Fund may lose money.

Todd begins with an investment universe of approximately 800 securities that have a market cap greater than $1 billion. Todd may acquire securities for the Fund’s portfolio with market cap of less than $1 billion. Todd evaluates each company for potential investment based on valuation, fundamental strength (i.e. strong and rising earnings), technical strength, and strong price-to-intrinsic value (“P/IV”) ratios. P/IV ratios are calculated by Todd by dividing a security’s current market price by Todd’s assessment of a security’s underlying value, based on both tangible and intangible factors. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Todd then ranks the securities following the P/IV screening using a proprietary Multi-Factor Ranking Model that assigns each security a composite ranking score that reflects, in a single number, all of the factors Todd believes are most critical to identifying a stock's true future potential. The Multi-Factor Ranking Model prioritizes securities with strong P/IV and price to earnings ratios along with securities that demonstrate positive earnings revisions and earnings momentum with constructive technical credentials. While a security must have an attractive P/IV ratio to be considered for the Fund’s portfolio, Todd evaluates each security to ensure that it meets Todd’s assessment of potential upside, quality, and diversification across sectors and geographic regions prior to investment.</div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">Todd generally sells a security for the Fund when, in Todd’s opinion, the fundamentals of the company are perceived to have weakened, if Todd becomes concerned about the integrity of a company’s accounting, or if Todd believes that a company is no longer attractive based on its intrinsic value relative to other available equity investments.</div>The Fund’s holdings may represent multiple geographic regions and sectors that will vary at different points in time. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had significant exposure to the financials and industrials sectors. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had significant exposure to companies in Japan and Europe. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had significant exposure to the financials and industrials sectors. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had significant exposure to companies in Japan and Europe. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Sub-Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. The Adviser relies on quantitative data that may prove to be incorrect or incomplete. ADR Risk. ADRs involve risks similar to those associated with investments in foreign securities, such as changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies. ADRs listed on U.S. exchanges are issued by banks or trust companies, and ADRs entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares (“Underlying Shares”). When the Fund invests in ADRs as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the ADRs may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the Underlying Shares. Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. Economic conditions, such as volatile currency exchange rates and interest rates, political events, military action and other conditions may, without prior warning, lead to foreign government intervention (including intervention by the U.S. government with respect to foreign governments, economic sectors, foreign companies and related securities and interests) and the imposition of capital controls and/or sanctions, which may also include retaliatory actions of one government against another government, such as seizure of assets. Capital controls and/or sanctions include the prohibition of, or restrictions on, the ability to transfer currency, securities or other assets. Capital controls and/or sanctions may also impact the ability of the Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Shares, and cause the Fund to decline in value. Currency Exchange Rate Risk. The Fund may invest in investments that provide exposure to non-U.S. currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value of the Fund’s investment and the value of your Shares. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. Emerging Markets Risk. The Fund may invest in companies organized in emerging market nations. Investments in securities and instruments traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to such securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments or investments in more developed international markets. Such conditions may impact the ability of the Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities, adversely affect the trading market and price for Shares and cause the Fund to decline in value. Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, acts of terrorism, market volatility related to global trade policy and the imposition of tariffs, the spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus), recessions, rising inflation, trade wars and tariffs, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Such events could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify">liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares.

As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. Because securities held by the Fund may trade on foreign exchanges that are closed when the Fund’s primary listing exchange is open, the Fund is likely to experience premiums or discounts greater than those of ETFs that invest in and hold only securities and other investments that are listed and trade in the U.S. </div>◦Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares.

In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in securities of foreign companies, including through ADRs, involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in U.S. securities. For example, the value of such securities may be subject to risk of decline due to foreign currency fluctuations, the imposition of tariffs, or to political or economic instability. There may be less information publicly available about a non-U.S. issuer than a U.S. issuer. Such investments also may be subject to withholding or other taxes and may be indirectly subject to additional trading, settlement, custodial, and operational risks. These and other factors can make investments in the Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments. Companies in many foreign markets are not subject to the same degree of regulatory requirements, accounting standards or auditor oversight as companies in the U.S., and as a result, information about the securities in which the Fund invests may be less reliable or complete. Foreign markets often have less reliable securities valuations and greater risk associated with the custody of securities than the U.S. There may be significant obstacles to obtaining information necessary for investigations into or litigation against companies and shareholders may have limited legal remedies. Geographic Investment Risk. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Risks Related to Investing in Japan. The Japanese economy may be subject to considerable degrees of economic, political and social instability, which could have a negative impact on Japanese securities. While the Japanese economy has recently emerged from a prolonged economic downturn, Japan’s economic growth rate may remain relatively low in the future. In addition, Japan is subject to the risk of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, typhoons and tsunamis. Additionally, decreasing U.S. imports, new trade regulations, changes in the U.S. dollar exchange rates, a recession in the United States or continued increases in foreclosure rates may have an adverse impact on the economy of Japan. Japan also has few natural resources, and any fluctuation or shortage in the commodity markets could have a negative impact on Japanese securities. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Risks Related to Investing in Europe. The economies and markets of European countries are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one country in Europe can have an adverse impact on other European countries. The Fund makes investments in securities of issuers that are domiciled in, or have significant operations in, member countries of the European Union (“EU”) that are subject to economic and monetary controls that can adversely affect the Fund’s investments. The European financial markets have experienced volatility and adverse trends in recent years and these events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect other European countries. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and/or an economic recession in an EU member country may have a significant adverse effect on the economies of EU member countries and their trading partners, including some or all of the European countries in which the Fund invests.

Geopolitical Risk. Some countries and regions in which the Fund invests have experienced security concerns, war or threats of war and aggression, terrorism, economic uncertainty, natural and environmental disasters and/or systemic market dislocations that have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on the U.S. and world economies and markets generally, each of which may negatively impact the Fund’s investments. Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The Fund’s performance may be adversely affected if securities of large cap companies underperform securities of smaller-capitalization companies or the market as a whole. The securities of large cap companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell. This can reduce the Fund’s returns because the Fund may be unable to transact at advantageous times or prices. New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision. Additionally, Todd has not previously managed a registered fund, which may increase the risk of investing in the Fund. Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Financials Sector Risk. This sector, which includes banks, insurance companies, and financial service firms, can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, government regulation, the rate of defaults on corporate, consumer and government debt, the availability and cost of capital, and fallout from the housing and sub-prime mortgage crisis. Banks, in particular, are subject to volatile interest rates, severe price competition, and extensive government oversight and regulation, which may limit certain economic activities available to banks, impact their fees and overall profitability, and establish capital maintenance requirements. In addition, banks may have concentrated portfolios of loans or investments that make them vulnerable to economic conditions that affect that industry. Insurance companies are subject to similar risks as banks, including adverse economic conditions, changes in interest rates, increased competition and government regulation, but insurance companies are more at risk from changes in tax law, government imposed premium rate caps, and catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and terrorist acts. This sector has experienced significant losses in the recent past, and the impact of higher interest rates, more stringent capital requirements, and of recent or future regulation on any individual financial company, or on the sector as a whole, cannot be predicted. In recent years, cyber attacks and technology malfunctions and failures have become increasingly frequent in the financial sector and have caused significant losses. </div>◦Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector can be significantly affected by, among other things, worldwide economic growth, supply and demand for specific products and services, rapid technological developments, international political and economic developments, environmental issues, tariffs and trade barriers, and tax and governmental regulatory policies. As the demand for, or prices of, industrials increase, the value of the Fund’s investments generally would be expected to also increase. Conversely, declines in the demand for, or prices of, industrials generally would be expected to contribute to declines in the value of such securities. Such declines may occur quickly and without warning and may negatively impact the value of the Fund and your investment. Financials Sector Risk.

There are certain risks associated with securities lending, including the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities on a timely basis or even the loss of rights in the collateral deposited by the borrower, if the borrower should fail financially. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. As a result, the Fund may lose money.

For example, the Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Index (such as reconstitutions, additions, and deletions). </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify">To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had significant exposure to the information technology and industrial sectors.</div> To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As of December 31, 2025, the Index had significant exposure to the information technology and industrial sectors. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Concentration Risk. The Fund’s investments will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index is so concentrated. In such event, the value of the Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries. Depositary Receipt Risk. Depositary Receipts involve risks similar to those associated with investments in foreign securities, such as changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies. Depositary Receipts listed on U.S. exchanges are issued by banks or trust companies and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares (“Underlying Shares”). When the Fund invests in Depositary Receipts as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the Depositary Receipts may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the Underlying Shares. Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus), recessions, rising inflation, trade wars and tariffs, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Such events could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. ETF Risks. The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify">liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. </div>◦Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace.

In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. Foreign Markets Risk. Investments in ADRs that provide exposure to non-U.S. securities involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in U.S. securities. For example, the value of non-U.S. securities may be subject to risk of decline due to foreign currency fluctuations or to political or economic instability. Investments in ADRs also may be subject to withholding or other taxes and may be indirectly subject to additional trading, settlement, custodial, and operational risks. These and other factors can make investments in the Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments. Index Provider Risk. There is no assurance that the Index Provider, or any agents that act on its behalf, will compile the Index accurately, or that the Index will be determined, maintained, constructed, reconstituted, rebalanced, composed, calculated or disseminated accurately. The Adviser relies upon the Index Provider and its agents to compile, determine, maintain, construct, reconstitute, rebalance, compose, calculate (or arrange for an agent to calculate), and disseminate the Index accurately. Any losses or costs associated with errors made by the Index Provider or its agents generally will be borne by the Fund and its shareholders. Market Capitalization Risk. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Large-Capitalization Investing. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. </div>◦Mid-Capitalization Investing. The securities of mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large-capitalization companies. The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole.

The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Models and Data Risk. The composition of the Index is heavily dependent on proprietary quantitative models as well as information and data supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”). When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to securities being included in or excluded from the Index that would have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and complete. If the composition of the Index reflects such errors, the Fund’s portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too. Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed, and its sub-adviser would not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution or rebalancing of the Index in accordance with the Index methodology. Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt">◦Information Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production </div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify">costs. Stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. </div>◦Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector can be significantly affected by, among other things, worldwide economic growth, supply and demand for specific products and services, rapid technological developments, international political and economic developments, environmental issues, tariffs and trade barriers, and tax and governmental regulatory policies. As the demand for, or prices of, industrials increase, the value of the Fund’s investments generally would be expected to also increase. Conversely, declines in the demand for, or prices of, industrials generally would be expected to contribute to declines in the value of such securities. Such declines may occur quickly and without warning and may negatively impact the value of the Fund and your investment. Information Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs.

Conversely, declines in the demand for, or prices of, industrials generally would be expected to contribute to declines in the value of such securities. Such declines may occur quickly and without warning and may negatively impact the value of the Fund and your investment. Securities Lending Risk. The Fund may engage in securities lending. There are certain risks associated with securities lending, including the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities on a timely basis or even the loss of rights in the collateral deposited by the borrower, if the borrower should fail financially. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of collateral provided for loaned securities or a decline in the value of any investments made with cash collateral. As a result, the Fund may lose money. Tracking Error Risk. As with all index funds, the performance of the Fund and the Index may differ for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, the Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Index. The Fund may use a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, if the Fund’s Sub-Adviser believes it is in the best interest of the Fund, which generally can be expected to produce a greater non-correlation risk.
